This paper focuses on re-constructing Vocational and Technical Education in skills acquisition by Secondary School Students. The survival of any nation or people is predicated on the level of development. Where the standard of living is low, the nation is at risk of total collapse. Vocational/Technical Education therefore is among the vital tools which can be used to develop individuals. It is field where opportunities exist for gainful employment being mostly practically oriented; the graduate of vocational and technical education can easily be self employed, and very often an employer of labour. Opportunities abound in jobs though such opportunities are never realized as Nigeria like every other developing country is faced with the problem of inability of her educators to relate education to employment opportunities. This is practically true in the nation’s secondary schools where many teachers are said to be incapable of assisting student to perceive clearly a picture of the world of work. Even with the limited area of- subject options offered by many Nigeria secondary schools, the students still find it extremely difficult to choose subjects. On account of inaccurate and inadequate information, many students do not know the relationship of the subjects they are being taught to the various vocational opportunities in the job-markets. Students do not have the capability to proper choice of vocation the need for vocational guidance, as well as occupational information for jobs.
